Sonny T, who is a member here and a good friend, has assembled perhaps one the greatest T206 sets ever assembled. Not only is the set complete (520 + Magie), but it contains the most amazing assortment of backs, including no-prints, blank backs, proofs, type 1 coupons, etc., and some of the rarest/toughest front-back combos.
This set deserves its own thread, yet despite my pushing him, Sonny, who is reserved and humble, has not created one. So I am doing it for him, because this absolutely incredible, amazing, and unique set deserves its own thread. Come on in for Drums, Uzits, amazing eye appeal, more Broadleafs than you have ever seen in one place, etc. I present, Sonny’ incredible t206 set. Perhaps he will respond with his/the story https://www.flickr.com/gp/146321797@N05/Pu037e41t3 |

Ryan thanks so much for posting Sonnys set. I thoroughly enjoyed scanning through his incredible cards.
How fitting is it that his cover page to his card gallery states "my attempt at an epic set". Id say that he accomplished that and then some. Whats so special about Sonnys set is that each card is unique in its own way and not just about the number printed on the flip. Its by far one of the most amazing array of T206's I've seen as a group, EVER!! Kudos to you for sharing these......... Thank you!

Really nice of you to post this Ryan, as you stated Sonny is very humble and one of the nicest guy's in the hobby. What's almost as amazing as his set is the fact that he has/had a lot of incredible cards that aren't even included in this set.

Wow and Wow
The set is impressive. Any idea how long it took for Sonny to accomplish this feat? any idea if he has any interesting stories behind getting any or some of these cards? Would love to here the story behind the cards and about Sonny.

Great looking T206s. You can tell they are hand picked for quality.
The only exception, concerning categorization, is there is a Coupon T213 in there ![]() . .

Incredible set sonny, amazing group of rare backs - congratulations! Ryan, thank you for sharing Sonny's great accomplishment.
PS - It's nice to see a few that "got away" in such a great set.

Just incredible. Being a Providence collector, my eyes were drawn to the Anderson AB350 and Hoffman and Lavender Tolstois. Very low pops. Then to see the Phelan BL350. Wow.
